The couple, who tied the knot in April 2020, appeared on season 8 of the TLC series, as well as season 6 of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?90 Day Diaries, and season 2 of 90 Day: The Last Resort.

Through the series, fans have been able to follow the pair’s relationship from when the soon-to-be first-time mom initially moved onto the Gibbs’ farm in Richmond, Virginia, from Russia. The transition to living with the family wasn’t always comfortable. However, Trubkina and Gibbs relationship stayed strong.

In January 2022, Trubkina shared an Instagram Reel of herself dancing to the “Cha-Cha Slide” alongside her husband and his parents. In the video, the family looked to be in good spirits.

In her caption, she mentioned that her husband took a tumble as the video cut out.

“🇺🇸 Lost Brandon at the end of the video 😆,” Trubkina wrote. “Have a wonderful day guys 💙.”
